Dear Managers,

I am just starting out with OSF/1 and would like to know how most
have you have decided to perform full backups of your systems?

On my SVR4 UNIX boxes I do full disk image backups using a utility
called SCSI Navigator which runs from floppy without UNIX being up.

Your thoughts?

I will of course summarize.

Regards

PS. Note that I am not talking about backing up files using cpio,
tar, etc, I am talking about a full image copy of a disk which can
be restored on a system with no UNIX currently installed or at worst
a minimal one.
